Dana's Piccolo Pro Page.

This Piccolo Pro is very agile! The Hacker B20-31S is very light, but packs a KV similar to Steve's 18L without the weight. He suggested I try the 31S. Steve runs his with a throttle curve, I prefer the steadiness of governed mode, having been spoiled by the Logo's Shulze and Kontronik setup. To minimize the possibility of a glitch recycling the ESC in governed mode, I've taken lessons learned from the Logo and tried to apply them here. Keep both ESC's as far forward as practical, and the Berg 5 in the metal shielding shadow of the motor. The antenna is kept as far away from the ESC's as practical. So far, it's been perfect, and I've flown it out further than I could comfortably see it. It's running perfect, and just a sweetheart with the CF blades. It's role in my stable is to act as the goat for 3D before trying the manouvers out on the Logo. To keep up with Steve, I'll be working on landing the Logo on the garage ceiling by this fall ... :)
